Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural Items: American Museum of
Natural History, New York, NY; Correction
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the American Museum
of Natural History that meet the definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the cultural affiliation determination
reported in the Notice of Intent to Repatriate published in the Federal
Register (77 FR 11567-11568, February 27, 2012).
In the Federal Register (77 FR 11568, February 27, 2012), paragraph
nine is replaced with the following paragraph:
The cultural affiliation of the 34 cultural items is Hutsnuwu
Tlingit, as indicated through museum records and consultation with
representatives of Angoon Community Association, Kootznoowoo
Incorporated, and Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of
Alaska. Chaik Bay lies within the traditional territory of the
Hutsnuwu Tlingit. These cultural items were claimed on behalf of the
Da--l'aweidi clan.
In the Federal Register (77 FR 11568, February 27, 2012), paragraph
12 is replaced with the following:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship
of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the
unassociated funerary objects and the Angoon Community Association
and the Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should
contact Nell Murphy, Director of Cultural Resources, American Museum of
Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024,
telephone (212) 769-5837, before November 23, 2012. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects to the Angoon Community Association and
Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The American Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying
the Angoon Community Association and Central Council Tlingit and Haida
Indian Tribes of Alaska that this notice has been published.
Dated: October 16, 2012.
